Each one of us can become involved, at any moment, in an
emergency that will affect our companion animals.

Recent events around the world have taught us how
vulnerable we all are to natural disasters and to man-made ones.

In spite of our most careful precautions, it's possible
that one of our companions can become lost. And if our own companions are
safe, we might encounter others who are not — who are lost or who are
victims of abuse.

When an emergency happens, it can be too late to learn how
to take effective action to help. The best time to learn is now, beforehand.
